Neurodermatitis is a form of atopic dermatitis characterized by a self-perpetuation scratch-itch cycle. Although symptoms increase in times of stress, physiological changes in the nerve fibers are also present. A hypersensitivity reaction (similar to an allergy) occurs in the skin, causing chronic inflammation.

The inflammation causes the skin to become itchy and scaly. Chronic irritation and scratching can cause the skin to thicken and become leathery-textured, although this is more pronounced in the localized form, lichen simplex chronicus. Exposure to environmental irritants can worsen symptoms, as can dryness of the skin, exposure to water, temperature changes, and stress.
